Subject: BBC Micro in Romania

Hello - I'm hoping to get involved with a voluntary project working in
Romania in a hospital housing all manner of people, from those with mental
health problems, cerebral palsy, orphans etc.

I was thinking of taking an adapted BBC Micro out there for some
educational/fun uses, as they're so cheap, versatile and tough. Does anyone
know what problems I'm likely to come across in using a UK machine in
Romania - ie. power differences and how to overcome them - getting a TV
picture, and so on....Also, I know it's off topic, but I was thinking of
taking a Commodore 64, which I currently use alongside the BBC Micro to help
people with severe communication/physical disabilities play Darts...and
maybe an adapted Playstation. Would the cures for the BBC Micro apply to any
machine?

Thanks if you can help,
